Answer:

Fossil of the hard-shelled organism which shows the surface contours giving the exact 3D shape of the organism is called a mold and cast fossil. Fossils are formed in water bodies where the sediments can be deposited over the dead and decayed organisms.  

When hard-shelled organism dies, still water plays important role in the formation of these fossils as: when water from sediment leaches our it decays the organic matter which creates void which is filled by sediment or mineral matter and the acidic water dissolves and breakdown the shell which gets surrounded by the mud or sand which hardens.

Thus, water plays an important role in the formation of mold and cast fossils.

Still waters allow for sediments to settle down on fossils without disturbance. This gives the minerals in the sediments time to perfuse in the fossils and petrify the fossil.  The sediments also settle on the fossils without disturbance, take the form of the fossil and get cemented forming molds.

How are the modes for reproduction different in unicellular and multicellular organism.
Neporo4naja [7]

The unicellular and multicellular organism are different in asexual and sexual mode of reproduction.

The reproduction is the phenomenon which involves the production of an offspring by particular individuals or individuals to propagate there species. Reproduction are of two types:

1. Asexual reproduction: In asexual reproduction, they does not involve the fusion of gametes. The unicellular organism reproduce mainly by binary fission. In this, a single cell divides into two daughter cell. The daughter cell completely resembles their parent. It involves only one parent.

2. Sexual reproduction: In sexual reproduction, there is a fusion of gametes that brings changes in genetic combination. The germ cell undergoes meiosis that produces haploid gametes that fuse to form new individuals. It involves either one or two parents.

A l,ll,lll and lV would be the answer because a eukaryote is an organism with complex cells, or a single cell with a complex structures. In these cells the genetic material is organized into chromosomes in the cell nucleus. Animals, plants, algae and fungi are all eukaryotes. There are also eukaryotes amongst single-celled protists.
